UNDER CONSTRUCTION AS WE SPEAK, I LOST FOUR HOURS OF WRITING DUE TO MY BROWSER CLOSING, SO I'M SAVING MY PROGRESS.

The previous version of this guide was incorrect, even the checklist was incorrect. Currently up to the restaurant cutscene. Will finish within the next two to three hours hopefully. There's a lot of linking and writing from scratch/re-writing content.

To start this quest, you must speak to [[Cohen]] in [[Brannof's Dining Room]]. You can access this by heading west from [[Hopeport|Hopeports]] [[Town Square]] through [[Brannof Boulevard]]. Once inside [[Brannof Hall's Hallway]] you must enter the room west.

===Finding the Thieves===
{{Checklist|
* Chat with [[Nelson]] or [[Wellington]] in [[The Hooked Hand]] (make sure to remove your armor first).
* Get the Paper and Pen from the desk in [[Brannof's Chamber]].
* Use the Paper with the Pen and write the [[Weapons Order]]. You can do so by accessing your Toolbelt and then using the Pen on the Paper.
* Catch the [[Fetid Flounder]] in the [[Overgrown Pond]].

** If you retreat from the fight area or die, taking a fear potion before returning will stop the thief from attacking you upon re-entering the area.
** If you kill the thief and die after, the thief will stay dead, allowing you to fight the furtive stranger.
** The furtive stranger can be difficult at low levels, try using a range weapon to get a few hits in before he reaches you, then be sure to have potions to heal during the fight.
** Kiting the thief and furtive stranger around the central box in the room can help to delay their attacks, allowing you to take more health potions during a fight and/or regen more health over time.
